How does it feel to have your soul food? yum and just yum. I can never have enough of this utterly carbolycious (my word for carbohydrate) fill I have everytime I am down and out. add 1 cup of yellow and red lentils (mung and masoor dal), add quarter cup of rice to it and add 2 litres of water, add shallots and garlic pods and tablespoon of oil or ghee and while this watery soup is being cooked, chop some real hot thai chillies and large red onion rings and while waiting for this delicious simple and tasty soul food to get cooked, just chill with a book. keep an eye on the consistency though, I love it as watery as possible. the rice and dals need to get mushed totally.
get a large bowl add the chillies and onion rings and added the mushed, overcooked meal and add a pinch of salt and eat it to your heart's content. just let go and feel the food nourish your soul and lift up ur spirits...
This bowl of hearty, warm soup and my all time favorite movie Katha, or khatta Meetha or my favorite book, khuswant singh's autobiography does the trick for me. we all need something to hold onto when we are down and out don't we all?
